At this time, Li Jinglin was making preparations backstage.
soon.
Henrik and the school administrator walked to the podium, asked the students to quiet down, said a few words, and then gave the stage to Li Jinglin.
Li Jinglin walked up to the podium with a smile.
Immediately, the entire venue burst into enthusiastic applause.
Bang bang bang bang!
"Oh oh oh!!"
"Li! You are so handsome!"
"wow!!"
The silence was broken instantly.
Li Jinglin raised his eyebrows.
The enthusiasm of the students at the National University of Paris is indeed somewhat unexpected.
"Hello friends, I am Li Jinglin!!"
"Oh oh oh!"
He waved to the audience, and suddenly there was a louder cheer.
It was less like a professor speaking and more like a big fan meeting.
In the eyes of the students in the audience, Li Jinglin is a legend, a living legend.
“It’s an honor to be here at the Ecole Nationale de Paris.”
Li Jinglin was a little humble.
Then they started chatting and making daily routine.
"Have you eaten?"
"have eaten!"
As soon as the food was served, everyone was asked if they had eaten. This was quite unexpected for French students.
It’s hard to imagine anyone using this as a greeting.
But he still followed Li Jinglin's words and answered.
"Very good. Seeing that everyone is full, I feel relieved."
Li Jinglin smiled like this.
The students immediately burst into laughter.
"We in China, like France, are countries of gourmet food, and we all know what the art of gourmet food is."
"but"
"There are so many people in China, and we were really poor in the past. We really went through days of not having enough to eat."
Li Jinglin shook his head.
There was a faint laugh from the audience.
The laughter was not malicious, it was just a feeling that as an artist, Li Jinglin suddenly started talking about eating, which was a little surprising.
only.
The students didn't notice.
Li Jinglin's expression and tone began to become serious.
"Perhaps you don't understand that the land is starved to death, but if this idiom is translated literally, it means that the bodies of starved people are all over the land."
"For us Chinese people, the most painful thing is starvation, and the most precious thing is food."
Speaking of which.
Li Jinglin paused slightly.
The laughter in the audience has disappeared.
"And the greatest care and tenderness is to ask someone, have you eaten? If not, then sit down quickly, eat something, and don't starve."
"That's what I want to say to everyone."
“If you want to be an artist, you must see the light of humanistic care in all the details of life.”
Bang bang bang!
This unique opening and entry.
A speech with a distinct Chinese flavor.
The students in the audience couldn't help but applaud.
A simple "Have you eaten?"
It seems that a unique Chinese culture has been formed, displayed in a foreign country.
"With the efforts of several generations, we have finally solved the problem of feeding 1.4 billion people."
Li Jinglin smiled slightly.
"So, when we argue, we will say something again."
"Are you full?"
"Hahaha!"
There were bursts of laughter from the audience.
But just in laughter.
Li Jinglin suddenly looked at Henrik.
He immediately spoke.
"Henryk, now you understand why I often ask you when I'm arguing with you, are you full?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The classmates looked at Henrik.
Watching Henrik nod.
The laughter suddenly became louder.
"Henrik is a very good friend of mine and he understands me very well."
Li Jinglin spread his hands.
"So, this is what Henrik said when he invited me to come to the National University of Paris"
"When you come to Paris, I'll treat you to French baked escargots."
"Hahaha!"
The students in the audience laughed more and more wildly.
The nervousness I felt at the beginning has long since disappeared.
And with the deepening of "making things happen".
The students' emotions naturally became more and more natural.
soon.
Then came the question and answer session.
The students in the audience had been waiting for a long time for the question and answer session, and it finally started.
Immediately, some students raised their hands excitedly.
After Li Jinglin randomly named a classmate, a black-haired white girl couldn't wait to ask.
"Li! Professor Li!"
"This classmate, please tell me."
"That's right. Why do I feel that when you play a piece of music, Professor Li, you almost never play it according to the score?"
The female classmate thought about it for a moment and then spoke.
It seemed that he was afraid that the expression was not clear enough, so he added another sentence.
"Also, I have read some of your papers, and the understanding of violin playing seems to be different from that in the textbook."
Hearing this, Li Jinglin was slightly startled.
"Textbook? What textbook?"
"Ah, it's "Dismantling of Performance Techniques of Paganini's 24 Caprices"."
The female classmate quickly answered.
After hearing the female classmate's answer, Li Jinglin's expression began to become subtle.
Dang even asked.
"Which version?"
"2018, the latest version."
"Oh, that's up to me."
Li Jinglin suddenly realized.
He easily said the most "pretentious" words.
And explained it thoughtfully.
"I participated in the writing and revision of this textbook."
Wow!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
After a brief uproar, bursts of laughter erupted from the audience.
Li Jinglin's answer was truly unexpected and full of comedy.
This is simply a vivid explanation of "college teacher is just a side job".
Let the students know one more thing.
[You never know what kind of boss your university teacher is]
I looked at my classmates and laughed.
Li Jinglin also shook his head with a smile and began to answer the female classmates' questions.
"Don't read what's written on the score. It's all nonsense. The score has one and only one purpose: to record the music, but that doesn't mean you have to play strictly according to the score, and it doesn't mean it's absolutely correct."
Speaking of which.
Li Jinglin suddenly became serious.
"If you are still high school students or undergraduates, my suggestion is to follow the charts and practice strictly, because at this stage, you are in a large-scale competition and you need to have a standardized line. Let’s evaluate your level.”
"I'm not saying that the teaching materials are wrong, but because the teaching materials need to be standardized in order to educate students."
The female classmate listened to Li Jinglin's explanation.
It became clear immediately.
In fact, it's not that the female classmates don't understand. After all, they are also students from prestigious universities.
However, maybe because I have always been a student, I may not be confident in my understanding in this regard.
But today, Li Jinglin responded to her thoughts very well.
"But once you want to continue to improve, gradually transition from a student to a performer."
"Then you have to have your own understanding of the work."
Li Jinglin smiled slightly and began to describe it in more detail.
"Whether it's the staff notation of Western music or the reduced notation of our Chinese music, in fact, its function is never to ask future generations how to perform, but to record the content of the music, nothing more."
"The reason why music art has a unique charm is that a hundred flowers bloom. No two snowflakes are the same in the world, and performers should not blindly pursue standardized performances. This will lose artistic freedom and unbridled imagination. "
"Understand, read, and then use your own soul to show your musical world."
"This is what a performer should do!"
Bang bang bang bang!
After hearing Li Jinglin's remarks, all the students in the room suddenly became more excited.
Art does require individuality.
Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and studying different things at different stages is the "uniqueness" that art needs. Only by being unique can it develop.
During the student years, there may be a need for standardization for assessment.
But if you graduate from your student days and start to become a performer, you must have your own unique soul.
"Oh! He's so handsome!"
"I feel like I've been completely won over by Lee's charm."
There was a faint chatter among the students.
Li Jinglin is really young enough and accomplished enough.
Put these things together, and for these students, the attraction is indeed fatal.
Applause, cheers.
Following Li Jinglin's speech, he continued to raise his voice without hesitation.
Watching the students admire themselves so much.
Li Jinglin also smiled slightly.
What should an artist do after going abroad?
Li Jinglin will never forget this.
You are the best publicity outlet and the best sounding board.
As a Chinese artist, it is natural to show the true image of China to people abroad.
So, after the question and answer session ended.
As if chatting, Li Jinglin changed the subject and spoke slowly.
"I'm very impressed. I once met a good friend at the Paganini Violin Competition. She is a violinist from France named Sabrina."
The students' eyes suddenly lit up.
I thought Li Jinglin was going to tell some gossip.
But what Li Jinglin said made the students slightly stunned.
"After getting to know each other, she once asked me out of curiosity whether you Chinese people can eat anything, including rats and bugs."
Speaking of which.
Li Jinglin shrugged helplessly.
Tiny laughter came from the students in the audience.
There are indeed some stereotypes about what Chinese people eat abroad.
This time Li Jinglin took the initiative to talk about it, which also made these students curious.
However, Li Jinglin didn't explain anything.
Instead, he threw out another sentence.
"I once asked me if in China, we are very strictly controlled and have no freedom at all."
Speaking of which.
Li Jinglin raised his eyebrows.
"Regarding these, no matter what I say, there will always be people who don't believe it, because people's prejudices are like a big mountain, and everyone will only believe what they hear and see."
Speaking of which.
Li Jinglin smiled slightly.
"So, what is China really like? Is it a scorched earth or a paradise of miracles? Instead of listening to media reports that like to tell lies, watch the deliberate slander of those villains."
"Why not go and see for yourself?"
Bang bang bang!
"Ouch!"
Cheers and applause rose instantly.
In an instant, the mountain roared like a tsunami.
These words of Li Jinglin are indeed very suitable for these students!
All college students, whether domestic or foreign, have one characteristic.
Stupid and shabby.
Rather than saying anything to them or explaining anything, it is better to affirm that the other person is an outstanding person who can think independently even if he really cannot think independently.
Tell them to see it with your own eyes and speak with facts.
Then he cursed the media.
This little temper is really well controlled.
Until here.
Li Jinglin signaled to Professor Henrik and then spoke.
"Professor Henrik has been to China. In this joint school, there are also students from our school who have seen China with their own eyes."
"Anyway, at least they don't feel unfree. They even feel that their freedom is a bit too much."
shrugged.
Li Jinglin really takes on the role of "image ambassador" very much.
"They don't have to worry about thieves or homeless people at night. The only thing they worry about is whether the massive amount of delicious food will make their bodies look out of shape."
"Hahaha!"
"Besides, I think if we really liked eating rats, bugs, etc., they would have complained first, wouldn't they?"
"Hahahahaha!"
In the venue, laughter came one after another.
There was no forced explanation, no accusation, and no clarification.
Sincerity is the greatest nirvana.
Li Jinglin was at this stop, with his hands spread out. No matter which question he asked, his answer was, "No one is stopping you. You will know if you go and see for yourself."
It seems that nature is full of convincing power.
"So, the facts you see are probably not the real facts."
Li Jinglin suddenly became serious.
"Not to mention the things you didn't see, but only heard."
"See with your eyes and feel with your heart. This is not only the attitude towards life we should have, but also the artistic heart that all students here need to have on their way to becoming artists in the future."
“Beauty is beauty, no matter who says it, it’s there, waiting for you to discover it.”
Speaking of which.
The speech also came to an end.
At this time, after all the foreshadowing.
The appeal of Li Jinglin's speech has also become increasingly high.
Li Jinglin was seen leaving the podium.
Talking as he walked.
Every gesture and gesture is filled with a dazzling confidence and atmosphere.
"We come from different cultures."
"But we are walking on the same artistic path!"
"Listen to each other, understand each other, help each other, and make progress with each other."
In a foreign land.
Li Jinglin did his best to show the ideological realm and responsibility that an artist from a great country should have.
Moreover, I hope to bring my vision of friendship and common progress to everyone.
"When different cultures and ideas collide, there may always be friction, but we should not rush to deny each other."
"Respect each other, identify with each other, communication and understanding are always more reliable than hostile disputes!"
“Only through such cooperation can real art and real beauty be born!”
